Wenger: "Lukaku should be allowed to play against Chelsea"
The Gunners tackle Everton on Sunday, with the Toffees boasting Romelu Lukaku in their ranks, who has grabbed eight goals since a season-long move from Chelsea.
However, the Belgian striker is not allowed to face his regular employer and Wenger believes this rule should be scrapped.
"The system of loaning out players has existed for a while. I'm not against it, I just think that the players should be allowed as well to play against the team who has loaned the player out," said the Frenchman.
"I always did plead for that because there is no reason once you signed for a club that you should not be allowed to play against everybody.
"When you sign for a club it means 'I commit for every single game I play for this club' and there should be no exception.
"Of course at some stage when I arrived in England you could decide if you loan a player out can he play against you or not, I remember I had that case with [Francis] Jeffers when I loaned him out and I always said 'yes if I loan a player out I allow him to play against us' - even if in the case of Jeffers he scored against us. I just think it is right."
